In this electrifying episode, we delve into the future of career, care, and consumer behavior with Courtney Leimkuhler, the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Springback Collective. Join us as we uncover the secrets behind Courtney's journey from the heights of corporate finance at Marsh and the New York Stock Exchange, to her current role as a venture capitalist shaping the landscape of the new care economy.

With the mindset of a futurist and a firm background in finance and infrastructure knowledge, Courtney and the team at Springbank seek to elevate unique companies that are positioning services to meet the challenges of the next generation of the workforce. With an eye on gender equity and family care, they partner and invest in mission-based companies referred to as 'The Builders' to be catalysts of change.

Here are some of the topics we touched on in our conversation:

- Venturing into the Unknown: Courtney shares her insights on transitioning from the traditional corporate world to the dynamic realm of venture capital, and how her diverse background has shaped her approach to investing in disruptive startups.

- Pioneering Business for the New Care Economy: Dive deep into the innovative start-ups Springback Collective supports, and discover how they are revolutionizing how we approach caregiving and inclusive work environments. For example, Wellthy is a company that offers human-powered care concierge and it is sold as a benefit through employers for employees. And Brisk is using AI to build tools for teachers to make their workflows much more efficient.

- Trends that Every Business Must Watch: Highlighting the data behind key demographic trends that are shaping corporate priorities, government initiatives, the insurance landscape, and consumer behavior. And we discuss how these trends, if not addressed will affect worker productivity, presence, and ultimately profits.

- Unveiling Financial Frontiers and Shinning a Spotlight on Data: Explore the next wave of financial progress as I discuss the evolving landscape of fintech and the opportunities it presents for investors and entrepreneurs alike.

Courtney also serves as a board member or advisor to several companies including New Front, Dandi, Parento, Orchard, Coverwallet (sold to Aon in 2020), Betterment and Asta Capital.

Courtney is a graduate of Harvard College summa cum laude and Harvard Business School where she was a Baker Scholar. Courtney and her husband live in New York City with their two daughters.
